Kugel With Apples And Goat Cheese

• 7 tbsp butter (softened)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 yellow, finely chopped
• 6-8 shallots, chopped
• 4 medium green apples, cored and diced
• 12 oz large egg noodles
• 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup chicken (or vegetable) broth
• 8-10 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 375u0b0.
2. Cook the egg noodles in boiling salted water, just under al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, saute the onions in olive oil and two tbsp of butter. Let the onions saute, stirring frequently, until they are translucent and beginning to brown on the edges. Add the apples and saute another 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl combine the broth, eggs and remaining butter. When they are mixed, add in the noodles, ensuring they're all coated. Add the onions and apples, mix well, add the cayenne, salt and pepper generously. Add in most of the goat cheese, stir and transfer to a greased or buttered 2 3/4 - 3 qt baking dish.
5. Bake, covered for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, add remaining goat cheese to the top and bake uncovered 30 minutes or until the kugel is set and the goat cheese on top is beginning to brown.
6. Let sit for 10 minutes before eating.
